Arctic is
the pride and joy of CARE. His beauty and grace is unsurpassed.
Unfortunately Arctic is plagued with the often-normal life challenges of a
Snow Leopard. A weakened immune system due to Snow Leopards limited gene
pool, has led to several illnesses. Arctic is hand fed everyday by
volunteer Annette Wiley, to assure he receives all the additional vitamins
and minerals he needs to survive. “High maintenance” are the words often
used to describe Arctic. He also required a specialized environment to
survive the Texas heat. Thanks to the generous gift of George Thompson, of
Addison, Texas, Arctic enjoys a state of the art 16 foot tall enclosure,
complete with; waterfall, cooled housing, special care lock-down area,
completely shaded and many vertical platforms and ramps to assure he gets
lots of exercise. We are all blessed to have such a rare and elusive animal
grace the grounds of CARE.
